IPFIXCOL2-FDS-INPUT(7)	       IPFIXcol collector	  IPFIXCOL2-FDS-INPUT(7)

NAME
     ipfixcol2-fds-input - FDS File (input plugin)

DESCRIPTION
     The plugin reads flow data from one or more files in FDS File format. It is
     possible  to use it to load flow records previously stored using FDS output
     plugin.

     Unlike UDP and TCP input plugins which infinitely waits for data from  Net-
     Flow/IPFIX  exporters,  the  plugin  will terminate the collector after all
     files are processed.

EXAMPLE CONFIGURATION
	<input>
	    <name>FDS File</name>
	    <plugin>fds</plugin>
	    <params>
		<path>/tmp/flow/file.ipfix</path>
	    </params>
	</input>

PARAMETERS
     path   Path to file(s) in IPFIX File format. It is possible to use asterisk
	    instead of a filename/directory, tilde character (i.e. "~")  instead
	    of	the  home  directory  of  the  user, and brace expressions (i.e.
	    "/tmp/{source1,source2}/file.ipfix").   Directories  and   non-IPFIX
	    Files that match the file pattern are skipped/ignored.

     msgSize
	    Maximum size of the internally generated IPFIX Messages to which the
	    content of the file is inserted. [default: 32768, min: 512]

     asyncIO
	    Allows  to	use  asynchronous I/O for reading the file. Usually when
	    parts of the file are being read, the process is blocked on synchro-
	    nous I/O and waits for the operation to complete. However, asynchro-
	    nous I/O allows the plugin	to  simultaneously  read  the  file  and
	    process  flow  records, which significantly improves overall perfor-
	    mance. (Note: a pool of service threads shared  among  instances  of
	    FDS plugin might be created).  [values: true/false, default: true]
